Action Requested:
Consider an ordinance approving a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow a spa use in the TC (Town Center) zoning district for Town Center Nails and Bar.
Property Description:
Located in a proposed 12,188 square foot multi-tenant retail development lease space of 3,138 square feet on approximately 1.71-acre property located at 242 Rufe Snow Drive.
Property Owner/Applicant:
Keller MH Retail, LTD.
Zoning:
TC (Town Center)
Background:
The proposed use will be located in a 3,138 square-foot lease space contained in a 12,188 square-foot multi-tenant building.
The property was first platted in 2013 as Lot 1, Block A of the Moviehouse addition, approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 12, 2013.
The Site Plan for this development was approved on October 17th, 2017 by City Council per Resolution number: 3938.
The applicant originally named this business House of Nails, but at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 11, 2018, the applicant stated that they are changing the name to Town Center Nails and Bar. The applicant will be not be selling alcohol, but it will be offered to customers during their service.
Analysis:
The purpose of this SUP is to allow spa use within an approximately 3,138 square-foot lease space, located within a new multi-use 12,188 square-foot development in Town Center.
After an influx of salon and spas were observed throughout town, city staff was asked to calculate the overall percentage in which salon and spa uses make up. Out of roughly one hundred and thirty nine (139) total businesses in Town Center there are nine (9) total salon and spa uses making up 6.47% of the businesses in Town Center. Out of roughly eight hundred and twenty four (824) total businesses throughout the entirety of Keller there are roughly fifty (50) salon and spa uses, making up 6.06% of the total businesses in the City of Keller.
Hours of Operation:
The Projected hours of operation would be 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, 11:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Building Exterior:
The building is currently being constructed and will include white stone, Cranberry Brick, Stucco (white and tan), Awnings, HM doors and frames, and Downspouts.
Parking:
There are twenty three (23) required parking spaces for retail, derived from a general parking ratio of one (1) space per two hundred (200) square feet for the proposed use. As a multi-use building there are fifty one (51) additional required parking spaces for restaurants, creating a general parking ratio of one (1) space per one hundred and fifty (150) for the remaining building. There is a total of seventy four (74) required parking spaces.
The site plan provides seventy (70) total parking spaces with three (3) spots reserved as handicapped which is four short of the required 74. However, the adjacent lot identified as lot 1 Moviehouse and Eatery is over parked by fourteen (14) parking spaces. Lot 1 and Lot 5 have a parking agreement resulting in eighty-four (84) available parking spaces for the proposed development. Staff does not anticipate any parking issues with the proposed use.
Existing Roadway Access:
Rufe Snow Drive, a four-lane divided arterial to the east.
